Brad was the the guy that reportedly did those Franklin Park workouts (by some other poster on this board).
I ran against Brad in h.s. He definitely had some speed an 880 and 600 guy mostly, but ran well in cross too (central mass district champ in senior year in 1984 and something like 10th in the state. He ran for a little school up in north central mass (Narragansett) which always fielded a strong team - state titles in 1979? w/o brad and 1984 with Brad. He was always a pretty gutty runner and that "desperation" sprint to win the U.S. x-country was pretty much his signature for most every race I ever saw him run.
Good "salt of the earth" type guy too.
